Mrs Connor is calling for the appointment of an allergies tsar and better funding and research into the condition as lives are at risk, the Mirror reports.
A coroner has warned a 'lack of national leadership' could lead to the deaths of more allergy sufferers after a 17-year-old aspiring doctor tragically died from anaphylaxis.
The teenager had undergone a routine procedure to remove her tonsils with the NHS in Reading, Berkshire, but suffered an 'unpredictable' fatal anaphylactic reaction to Rocuronium. Mrs Connor has requested a new NHS role to tackle the issue and has called for a designated leader to oversee and coordinate funding and research at a national level.
"Appropriate organisations already exist, and there is a lot of goodwill towards improving understanding in this area. It does however require national leadership and 'joining up' of these organisations. She said UKFAR, which is happy to take on the task, can then distribute information between relevant organisations.She added: "Gathering data and using this to research and reduce the risk of future deaths requires funding, and this should be reviewed."
Alexandra leaves behind her retired doctor father, David, and mother Tanya who is a GP practice nurse.
